You got it in with lots of time to spare Kaye. Glad you're going to play along.

I just had a query from one of our members about the "chat" room. I'm hoping you're all familiar with it, but I thought I would post something here, just in case you're unfamiliar with it.

Tthe first time I did a chat, I had no idea what to do! It's a little different at each site, but basically pretty easy. The only thing you'll need to make sure of is that you have the latest version of "flash" installed.

Look at the top right of the page when you are in the Forum, under COMMUNITY, there is a chat listing that you just select. This will bring up a chat window (if your flash is up-to-date). It will log you in as your Forum name. There at the top you will see a big window - that is where all the conversation is displayed. At the bottom, there is a smaller box and that is where you type your "chat" coversation. Just hit "send" when you're done and voila - it appears in the upper chat window. That window displays everyone's conversation as it naturally progresses. You have options in the box where you type your conversations, and even an option to add little "smilies". You'll see the buttons just above the text box.

I hope that explains it well enough for you. You can go and give it a try now and see if it works for you. If you have problems, it could be because you're not up-to-date with your version of "Flash", or clearing your cache helps as well. Please let me know if you have any problems. You'll be a pro before you know it! I've done chats before and tried to enter the room and discovered I needed to update my "flash". Of course, it made me late, and that's not great when you're the one hosting - LOL. Now I always do a test run beforehand!

Looking forward to "chatting" Saturday! Please let me know if anyone has problems and we'll try and get it rectified promptly for you!

I hope NO ONE forgets! We've got some great prizes lined up too - really upping your chances of not only having tons of fun and getting to know some of our fellow scrappers, but you can win some great prizes too.
